New National Train Exclusive 4 Person Soft Sleeper Cabin Schedule Plus Price Plus Booking Guide
Wang Fei, Manager of the Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service New National Train Special Train Ticket Booking Center
🚂 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
No need to frequently move luggage, no need to get up early to catch a train or change hotels—explore scenic spots during the day and sleep soundly in a smoothly running soft sleeper carriage at night. In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ Xinjiang tourism special train is redefining in-depth tours of southern and northern Xinjiang with a rhythm of ‘the train follows the traveler, one berth all the way.’
This 14-day itinerary spans the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the Kunlun Canyon in Hotan, from Kashgar Old City to the morning mist of Hemu, and then through the blue of Sayram Lake and the greenery of Nalati Grassland, truly achieving an immersive travel experience of ‘viewing scenery on the train and playing off the train.’ It is especially suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, or elderly tourists who prefer a relaxed pace.
📍 Route Highlights:Covers Xinjiang’s three core landscape belts
The ‘New National Train’ special train meticulously connects the essence of eastern, southern, and northern Xinjiang:
Southern Xinjiang Cultural Line:Visit Hotan Tuancheng, Yotkan Ancient City, and Kashgar Old City, experience the Adras silk craft, and feel the cultural legacy of the Silk Road;
Pamir Plateau Scenery:Pass by白沙湖 (Baisha Lake) and Karakul Lake, with distant views of the snow-capped Muztagh Ata Peak (depending on weather and visibility);
Northern Xinjiang Natural Wonders:Traverse the southern section of the Duku Highway (seasonally open) and the Ahe Highway, visit classic lakes and forest landscapes like Kanas, Hemu, Colorful Beach, and Sayram Lake;
Railway Special Experience:The entire journey relies on the national railway network, with night travel and daytime sightseeing, and crosses the world’s first desert-loop railway—the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway—making the journey itself a scenic experience.
The train uses national standard soft sleeper carriages, with four people per compartment, equipped with air conditioning, 24-hour hot water, and a humidification system, and features a public observation carriage. At Urumqi Station, a ‘Little Red Hat’ luggage service is also provided for seamless boarding, reducing travel burdens.
